| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing, such as laser sintering or melting of additive layers can produce parts rapidly at small volume and in a factory setting. To make the parts having nuclear quality and yet low cost, a real-time non-destructive evaluation (NDE) technique is required to detect defects while they are being manufactured. The NDE technique utilizes a multimodal optical sensor unit that is incorporated in a direct metal laser sintering machine to capture defects in real-time such that immediate corrective action by the machine can be taken. It also provides parameters that enable the prediction if the part is of nuclear quality. The sensor produces a defect map as the part is being printed. Real-time NDE results while AM parts are being manufactured in a powder-bed machine will be discussed and internal map of the detected defects will be presented. Detected defects will be compared to actual flaws. |
